+#### Spatial Types
+
+**Likelihood Of Impact: Low**
+
+The spatial column types of database migrations have been rewritten to be consistent across all databases. Therefore, you may remove `point`, `lineString`, `polygon`, `geometryCollection`, `multiPoint`, `multiLineString`, `multiPolygon`, and `multiPolygonZ` methods from your migrations and use `geometry` or `geography` methods instead:
+
+```php
+$table->geometry('shapes');
+$table->geography('coordinates');
+```
+
+To explicitly restrict the type or the spatial reference system identifier for values stored in the column on MySQL and PostgreSQL, you may pass the `subtype` and `srid` to the method:
+
+```php
+$table->geometry('dimension', subtype: 'polygon', srid: 0);
+$table->geography('latitude', subtype: 'point', srid: 4326);
+```
+
+The `isGeometry` and `projection` column modifiers of the PostgreSQL grammar have been removed accordingly.
